How does water rise from roots to the top of trees?

It is just a natural thing.

Transpiration is the loss of water vapor through leaves because of diffusion or evaporation. This means that the water in plants are always moving from wetter areas to drier ones, despite gravity. Xylem, a network of microscopic tubes, pull water from the roots to the leaves. As it pulls, the tension created by transpiration is strong enough to to pull the water up to five hundred feet.

Look up the transpiration-cohesion theory, that might help in your understanding.
